With the current BINK, users are referring to jams by their ID number, which is awesome. There’s also slugs, like some CMSes have. At the moment you can link to a jam using the anchor #jam-492 for example. Is that enough? Shouldn’t you have a real url like /jam/492 that redirects to that?

Another idea or maybe one that is combinable with the above is to use a link shortening service or maybe even make my own link shorter perhaps wiu kn1.us — so much easier to send in chats and texts.

We now have compat.js, which allows the old BINK URLs to continue working. Wouldn’t be too difficult to add some redirects here for permalinks.
